Thread: Espresso instead of regular coffee?

I cannot stomach regular black coffee, either! I use my one TBL of fat free half and half and vanilla stevia with my espresso. From what I could find, it is about 1 calorie per ounce, either way. So, 8oz should be 8 calories.

Nice losses, btw!

Yes! Thanks for the reply. I thought 43 was high but at this point I just did not know. Yep very happy with my loss so far. I would have liked to be at around 25 but who am I kidding??? Without HCG if I lost 8 lbs in 4 months I was lucky lol.

Take care

Culturally, I don't want to offend anyone, plus I like it Any ideas how to handle that? As for making espresso here at home, is stevia equal to sugar? Can I just use the same amount of stevia when making the 'first milk' for the foam?

if you have pure stevia powder (not truvia or stuff like that) then be VERY careful as it's a lot sweeter than sugar and you'll only need a tiny pinch to replace a teaspoon of sugar!

you very much have to 'experiment' and find the right dose for your tastes, also different stevia powders are slightly different to each other!

if you use too much stevia you'll get a stronger after-taste

Black espresso is fine in P2 Weird that it shows up with calories in fitday. Fat free half and half is terrible for you by the way. Shudder. It's got sugar in place of the fat too so it's going to slow your losses eventually.
